More about the book

Focusing on the history of third millennium BCE Babylonia, this collection of essays by Piotr Steinkeller explores ancient historical and literary sources, alongside artistic representations. It examines how these materials can inform modern historians about the ancient understanding of history, aiming to provide a comprehensive perspective rather than a purely factual account. Steinkeller's work reflects decades of research and thought, offering insights into the interplay between ancient narratives and contemporary historical analysis.
